Airbus raises list prices by average of 3.6%

Airbus has raised the average list price of its aircraft by 3.6%, taking the advertised cost of an A380 to $403.9 million, up from $389.9 billion in 2012.

Most of the aircraft have seen their list prices raised by slightly under 3.6%, with the main exceptions the current generation A320 - which increases by 3.62% to $91.5 million - and the A321neo - whose cost increases by a similar percentage to $117.4 million.

Airbus says the increase has been calculated according to its "standard escalation formula" over the last 12 months.
